I would like to voulteer my services too to get this thing up and running. I don't know much about coding databases but I can definately help with maintaining the database once it's running properly again.

Dark Nation this is the best news we could get , the questdatabase is already out of normal order since Januari and no one ever jumped in or answered our questions on getting it back up , the last try came close but ended like started with nothing , I really hope you are the one that can make a team and that the biggest zelda community stays one , the developers , the questmakers , the quests and the players all on this AGN board. ;)
Wow, DN, this is just what we need! I don't care what I would be, I just feel that I need to help the QDB in some way. I say, yes, we need at least 2 or 3 people per job. Unless there are only 15 active members of the ZC board, then that may be too many. ;) I think getting programmers, though, would be the hardest job to fill up.
And, also, the team wouldn't have to be mods, just have their own special title like "QDB Manager" or "QDB Designer" or whatever they would be, similar to "ZC Beta Tester."
To clarify to people- upon signing up for this, I was strictly given the duties of quest uploader. However, as problems befell, the responsibility to fix them was put on my shoulders- a task I was not up to. I love the idea of making this a team effort. It really is too much for one person, and was rather overwhelming to feel the brunt of the ZC community as things began to fall apart. Zelda Classic is rather large at this point, and it will take more than one person to maintain a satasfactory database, not to mention having immediate backup incase someone drops off the face of the intarwebz.Quote:

What not be a bad idea, if you can, is to post on the main site that these problems are still [slowly] being fixed. Since the last post was April 28 - I believe - some people may be thinking that ZC has been re-abandoned.
I hope I'm not being offensive, but I don't think there have actually been many new quests this year, probably because of the beta developments.
That doesn't mean that the new ones that where made don't need to be in the questdatabase does it :shrug:
and that also doesn't mean that someone that made a quest even if it's 3 year ago and wants it in the questdatabase can't do it :shrug:
How about we get back to the suggestion at hand instead of complaining.Quote:

I believe DN has an awesome solution here. Who wants to help?
(Yeah, there have been new quests. Check out the Top Ten Lists or the forum QDB.)
Again, I'll offer my help for any needed position. I don't know about programmer... That job should be covered by someone who is skilled with whatever the site uses to run.
Also,ifwhen the site gets fully functional, we have two options. The first is to continue the way the present ZC.com is running - update only when something significant has happened, like the release of 2.11, a new affiliate, etc. The second is to do it like PureZC - update whenever quests have been uploaded/updated. Also, will we still have only quests, or will we allow music, tiles, and tilesets to be uploaded (like PureZC)? There are many possibilties.
